Somewhere in the wilderness;
The night passed away and the morning arrived. The sun slowly rose from the east.
At a lake, some animals are drinking water while some elephants are enjoying the bath.
Nearby the place, there's a tank parked around. It looked a little bit worn out. There were cracks on the windshield.
Inside the tank, Mark appeared to be in a deep sleep in a seating position.
"Hmmm…" He slowly opened his eyes and took out his pocket watch from the inventory.
"It's already 6:30?" Mark opened his eyes wide in realization.
Getting out of the door, he stood on the roof of the tank and stretched his body. "Man, it's tough to sleep like that. How long has it been since I slept in a seating position? The last time, was it at High school?" *Yawn*
Mark looked around and mumbled, "It looks like this place wasn't affected by the dungeon break."
During the process of dungeon break, the nearby lands were turned barren but here, where Mark was standing, the grassland is lively with herbivores wild animals. However, no animal is willing to come ten meters nearby the tank. They appeared wary of it. Maybe, it's their natural instinct of the predators.
As they were only harmless animals that don't attack humans unless they were attacked, Mark dismissed the battle tank and finally opened the pending notification, to proceed with the trade.
<strong>*Ding! You completed the Emergency Quest: Dungeon Break. The reward is sent to the inventory.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! You traded the corpse of Cerberus.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! 1 Lottery Pick Ticket and 1 fully loaded Attack helicopter are sent to the inventory.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! 20mm ammunition has been unlocked</strong>
<strong>*Ding! 30mm ammunition has been unlocked</strong>
"Open, inventory."
Along with a rainbow-colored ticket that looked more like a playing card, there was an image of a helicopter with army-colored stripes and a packaging box in their respective slots.
"This one seems to be a bit familiar."
As soon as he saw the image of a helicopter, Mark immediately clicked on it. The image became bigger along with the appearance of the details.
His eyes lit up in excitement upon confirming his suspicions. "I knew it. It's modeled after Eurocopter Tiger."

"Damn, so many skills. No wonder it is a Crystal grade weapon." Mark was completely satisfied with the attack helicopter. Previously, there was this tiny bit of suspicion on whether the system is purposely not letting him get rich but now, he felt like it was worth rejecting Shang Wen's offer.
Of course, there's also a bit of disappointment, which is that he cannot buy missiles for the helicopter just like he can't buy the ammunition of the Battle Tank. The only way to buy them is to either get stronger or wait for an emergency quest where he will get temporary access.
Still, all is not lost. The system also gave him the reward of 30 and 20 mm ammunition for the cannons. Considering the 30 mm is as powerful as rank-5 (full-powered strike from 5-circle realm), Mark can use the helicopter as he wishes. As for the fuel, he needed to buy ether potions from the Potions Store run by the Alchemy guild.
"Okay, now, let's get that bloodline."
Closing down the window, Mark proceeded to open the Lottery system.
21 sections, only 5 are available. +2 chances, Random Bloodline, upgrade stone, unique skill, and Question Mark.
Below the lottery wheel, the button spin is grayed out and the timer below it, displayed, <strong>"22hrs 37minutes"</strong>
"I guess I need to wait another day. Hmm, maybe, I should use it after spinning the wheel normally. If I'm successful, then, I can use the lottery pick ticket and choose another one. Yup, let's do that…" Mark closed down the lottery too and went back to the inventory.
"Let's see what kind of Android I will receive, this time." Considering the new Android is going to be more powerful than Allen, Mark was naturally excited.
He clicked on the slot with the packaging box.
A familiar blinding flash occurred before his for a couple of seconds and a beautiful young woman appeared before his eyes. Just like Allen, not only her eyes were blue and her body proportions were too perfect but she was also having his face with no expressions and lifeless eyes.
Even Mark was stunned for a couple of seconds, looking at her peerless beauty. To this date, in this current world, Song Yue was the most beautiful person in Mark's eyes but now, it seemed like this Android beat her. And the outfit of Quju style only complemented the Android's beauty.
Thankfully, his mind was strong and he knew that she's just a robot. So, Mark managed to get out of the stupor and then, took a clear look at her as he felt she had similar features to Allen.
"Hmm, now that I think about it, if I place Allen beside her, both of them could be easily passed as siblings or even twins."
<strong>*Ding! You received an Android Assistant.</strong>
<strong>*Ding! Please name the assistant.</strong>
After thinking for a while, Mark opened his mouth, "I don't have any extra cousins or siblings to name you after them nor do I intend to give the names of my friends whom I had forgotten long ago. But, you are also like Allen and I will be impartial. So, I will also take you into the Spencer family just like him. Both of your names will keep reminding me all my life that I'm not Lu Zhen but Mark Spencer.
Hence, I name you Alina Spencer."
Once the naming ceremony is over, the female Android's lifeless eyes finally blinked before she greeted him with a bow, "Greetings, Master."
Unlike Allen's straight tone, her voice was too sweet and Mark shivered for a second as if he felt she was seducing him or something. He repeatedly shook his head and reminded himself, "she's a robot, you idiot. Not a human…"
"You can address me as Big Brother too just like your elder brother."
Alina tilted her head in confusion, wondering when she had an elder brother. In an instant, Mark saw little 1s and 0s in her pupils before she gave a shocking response. "As you wish, Big Brother."
"Eh? A smile on Android?"
